Feeling more support and happiness in your life

Is there more than one Ego? We could also ask is there more than one God? We tend to act like there are many egos or many gods. We think we are little gods, with our own mind and our own life and our own plans, decisions, challenges etc. And we act like that. Then we might call on God our Creator, our Source to help us get through the day that WE have planned.

That kind of thinking is bondage. It is heavy, burdened. It sometimes works out and sometimes doesn’t. It is sometimes exciting and sometime drudgery. It is like a roller coaster ride.

I’ve found that to gain more peace and live life on a more even keel, maintaining a sense of joy and health and happiness is to remember that God is the Ego and I am the expression of that Ego, rather than my own little ego.

I love what Mary Baker Eddy wrote in a book called Retrospection and Introspection, “The sun sends forth light, but not suns; so God reflects Himself, or Mind, but does not subdivide Mind, or good, into minds, good and evil.”

As the first chapter in the Bible, in Genesis tells us, we are the “image and likeness” of God, His/Her reflection, His/Her expression.

We practically apply this truism in our life by going about our day knowing that we are doing what we are doing as an expression of God, or Life or Love or Mind, all names for God. This gives us the confidence and comfort and peace and strength of knowing that we have the full power of the Creator or one Ego behind us to give us all the energy, ideas, strength, motivation, creativity etc. to do whatever we are doing.

Ahhhh! That is so much better.
